Various methods and compositions are provided for identifying and/or selecting a soybean plant or soybean germplasm with one or more preferred or desired reproductive growth phenotypes. In certain embodiments, the method comprises detecting at least one allele of one or more marker locus within or linked to a QTL associated with days to initiation of flowering. In other embodiments, the method additionally comprises detecting at least one allele of one or more marker locus within or linked to a QTL associated with days to maturity. In further embodiments, the method comprises crossing a selected soybean plant with a recurrent soybean parent plant. Further provided herein are marker loci, marker alleles, primers, probes, and kits suitable for identifying and/or selecting soybean plants or soybean germplasms with one or more reproductive growth phenotypes.

Genetic loci associated with reproductive growth phenotypes in soybean and methods of use

Various methods and compositions are provided for identifying and/or selecting a soybean plant or soybean germplasm with improved resistance to Brown Stem Rot infection. In certain embodiments, the method comprises detecting at least one allele of one or more marker locus within or linked to a QTL associated with Brown Stem Rot resistance. In further embodiments, the method comprises crossing a selected soybean plant with a recurrent soybean parent plant. Further provided herein are marker loci, marker alleles, primers, probes, and kits suitable for identifying and/or selecting soybean plants or soybean germplasms with improved resistance to Brown Stem Rot infection.

Genetic loci associated with brown stem rot resistance in soybean and methods of use

The disclosure relates to methods and compositions for identifying and/or selecting soybean plants that have resistance to lodging, have improved resistance to lodging, or are susceptible to lodging. The methods use molecular genetic markers to identify, select and/or construct resistant plants or identify and counter-select susceptible plants. Also provided are soybean plants that display resistance or improved resistance to lodging that are generated by the methods described herein. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

QTLs associated with and methods for identifying lodging resistance in soybean

Molecular markers associated with soybean reproductive stage, methods of their use, and compositions having one or more marker loci are provided. Methods comprise detecting at least one marker locus, detecting a haplotype, and/or detecting a marker profile. Methods may further comprise crossing a selected soybean plant with a second soybean plant. Isolated polynucleotides, primers, probes, kits, systems, etc., are also provided.

Compositions associated with soybean reproductive growth and methods of use

The invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying soybean plants that are tolerant, have improved tolerance or are susceptible to Charcoal Rot Drought Complex. The methods use molecular genetic markers to identify, select and/or construct tolerant plants or identify and counter-select susceptible plants. Soybean plants that display tolerance or improved tolerance to Charcoal Rot Drought Complex that are generated by the methods of the invention are also a feature of the invention. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

Loci associated with charcoal rot drought complex tolerance in soybean

Various compositions and methods are provided for identifying and selecting plants with enhanced resistance to soybean cyst nematode (SCN). Further provided are transgenic plants, plant parts, and seed and methods of their use comprising a heterologous polynucleotide operably linked to a promoter active in the plant are provided, as are methods of making such plants and methods of use, wherein said heterologous polynucleotide comprises at least one, or any combination thereof, of Glyma18g2580, Glyma18g2590, Glyma18g2600, Glyma18g2610; and Glyma18g2570 or an active variant or fragment thereof. Expression of the heterologous polynucleotide enhances the resistance of the plant to cyst nematode.
